When Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert tied the knot, country music fans everywhere rejoiced. They were considered the ultimate power couple in the country music scene. So, when news of their divorce broke, it left many heartbroken and curious about what led to the end of their fairytale. Let’s delve deeper into the details of their divorce.
After the divorce, Miranda Lambert chose to remain tight-lipped about the whole affair. She refrained from making any public comments or stirring up unnecessary controversy.
In a recent interview with CBS News, the country songstress discussed the intense media scrutiny and public attention she faced during and after her divorce. “I wasn’t prepared for that. I don’t think anybody is. And it’s not nice sometimes, but I think you’ve got to take it with a grain of salt,” she said.
As a singer-songwriter, Miranda Lambert finds solace in her music. “Luckily, I can tell my whole truth. I will not lie in my music,” she stated.
The aftermath of their divorce
The couple, who were married for five years, officially called it quits in 2015. Soon after the separation, both Lambert and Shelton started dating new people. Lambert tied the knot with Brendan McLoughlin in 2019, while Shelton found love with fellow The Voice coach Gwen Stefani.
When they announced their divorce, people were shocked. In a joint statement, they expressed their sadness and admitted that it wasn’t the future they had envisioned. They requested privacy and compassion during this personal matter.
Lambert and Shelton first met onstage during the CMT’s 100 Greatest Duets Concert in 2005. At the time, Shelton was still married to Kaynette Gern.
Reflecting on their first encounter, Lambert said, “I didn’t know if it was just initial butterflies… I don’t know what it was. It was just this draw to each other.”
Before going public with their separation, Lambert spoke fondly of her relationship with Shelton. She stated, “I’m not sunshine and roses. Blake’s the happiest person on the planet. He pulls me out of my darkness… Literally, everything is the best about being married.”
A new beginning with Brendan McLoughlin
While performing on Good Morning America, Lambert crossed paths with her current husband, Brendan McLoughlin. McLoughlin, a member of the New York Police Department, was providing security for the event. Lambert’s band, the Pistol Annies, played matchmaker and introduced the two.
Their first meeting was in 2018, and the following year they secretly tied the knot. Lambert shared the news on Valentine’s Day, writing, “I feel like I’ve been through enough in my life to know what I don’t want, so when I know what I do want, I snatch it right up.”
Lambert revealed that her girlfriends, the Annies, were instrumental in bringing her and McLoughlin together. They invited him to their show without her knowledge and believed he could be a perfect match. Lambert’s security guy, Tom, also played a role, describing McLoughlin as “pretty.”
Just three months after their initial meeting, Lambert and McLoughlin exchanged vows. However, Lambert decided to keep the information under wraps for three weeks before sharing it on social media. She explained that her previous marriage to Blake Shelton had been a grand public affair, and she wanted to keep this one more private for as long as possible.
